    Whenever I try to play online, it loads to where I can join the game, then exits to desktop. On single player it works fine. Any ideas? Specs in sig.

    you're deffinately not running a bad system as it is exactly what I have and I run BF2 fine. The only thing I can suggest is to try uninstalling and reinstalling it completely.

    I can tell you why , because it was coded by idiots ...

    Check the following :

    Punkbuster updated .
    Patch 1.3 FULL , if you used the other patch it might crash the server .
    It happens to me from time to time , I just try again and in another server ( always manual join ) .

    You are sure all speced up nice , you'll enjoy it very much ( mine 9300 ) .

    I installed the Patch, and now it works fine! I never knew these things had patches. Now I know to check once in a while. Thanks!

    Let me get this straight. Connecting with an unpatched client can crash the server? You're serious?

    Coded like idiots indeed.... :)
